American imprint Polaroid is an expert in the realm of photography and now, it branches out into the world of music with four iterations of music players. Starting with the P1 and the P1, which are small and wearable followed by the P3, which boasts the look of a small boom box, and finally the more powerful P4 speaker.
Each one comes in a range of bright colors to truly reflect the design language of the brand. It has a red switch that is incorporated to replicate the Polaroid camera's iconic red shutter button. Speaking about the new players, chairman Oskar Smolokowski states “Great musicians and photographers capture what we can’t always express with words, [...] They make us feel. We’re new in the music world, but we want to bring as much color and emotion to the space as we can. We’re excited about this new chapter while still being as committed as ever to instant photography.”
